Hiya! I am completely new in the world of Linux and so far having some fun working with it. I successfully installed Slackware 10.2 but I seem to be having some problems setting up the network. When I say this I don't mean a LAN but connecting to the Internet through my windows computer. (Since I don't have a proper wireless card for my linux laptop yet.)

Anyway, I'm connecting to the shared Internet through eth0, but It doesn't seem to be connecting in the GUI. Ive tried netconfig using DHCP but still nothing.

Any advice? Thank you alot!

How have you configured you network card, and are you sure you can ping your Windows machine correctly? If not, try adding the default route as the IP address of your windows computer and try again. Otherwise, check your nameserver settings in case your Linux computer is simply unable to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
